Today we went for my 16th week scan, the baby didn't move around much and we couldn't see a full view of the baby's legs. The doctor says we might be having a girl. I'm super excited. As for my husband, he's quite upset. He was frowning and shaking his head all the way home. Does it matter what gender the child is?! He has a baby boy from a past relationship - so I feel like the child is going to be loved less now that it's a girl. Even more that his so upset about it. I'm in a ball of tears.

I understand what you mean. My husband wanted a son from beginning, and we got a girl, now pregnant again he was excited for a second chance, but we're getting another daughter. In the beginning he was very dissapointed, not excited anymore, but i keep telling him girls are close to their dad's in the future, anything positive so i dont feel so bad either. It's getting better in time.

Not gonna lie if I find out I'm having another boy I may have a little gender disappointment as well. But will quickly get over it and pray for him to be healthy. I just really want a little girl since I have a boy already...
